I have to do this all over again. I thought it was going to be as simple as before but somewhere inside me I knew that the boss may have changed the rules and game play. When the boss had flipped his fingers I was standing in front of the empire state building.

I kept on walking as I did last time. There was an unattended phone booth. It was ringing. It was possible that it was for me. I went there and picked it up. As soon as I did that a countdown began. I had 10 seconds to do something but what?

The 10 seconds flew off in no time and the screen of the phone booth read, ‘You made the wrong choice kiddo.’ Suddenly my eye caught a glimpse of a fire starting near the booth and the booth was vibrating. Before I could move my legs, the phone booth blew off into pieces with me in it. I still remember the excruciating pain.

Now I was on level 1. The game had begun. If I made the right choice in the beginning I would’ve won the game before it even began. I could see vague shapes carrying me and a light coming and going again and again. Where was I?

Stay tuned for more crisp…
